China’s rise is built on the same black stuff that dragged Europe out of the dark ages: mountains of coal. While the ever inscrutable regime in China outwardly pays lip service to climate warriors railing against carbon dioxide gas, with a wink and a nod to its own wind and solar schemes, China is building … Continue reading China’s Transition From Agrarian Poverty Fuelled By Mountains of Coal

Impossible Dream: Wind Power Does Nothing To Meet Net-Zero CO2 Emissions Targets
An obsession with carbon dioxide gas is responsible for an obsession with costly and unreliable wind and solar. There is no hope of shaking the former among politicos and the MSM - that carbon dioxide gas is ‘pollution’ and the cause of all ills is mantra #1 of the climate cult’s catechism. The latter, however, … Continue reading Impossible Dream: Wind Power Does Nothing To Meet Net-Zero CO2 Emissions Targets
Wind Power Output Collapses Driving Wholesale Power Market Chaos
Random 3,000 to 4,000 MW wind power output collapses at the heart of Australia’s power pricing and supply calamity. In a, don’t say we told you so moment, Australia’s self-inflicted renewable energy chickens are coming home to roost. Power rationing is now routine and power prices are soaring out of control. What's depicted above – courtesy … Continue reading Wind Power Output Collapses Driving Wholesale Power Market Chaos
Renewable Energy Delusion: Counting Staggering Cost of Wind & Solar Obsession
The notion that we’ll soon be exclusively powered by wind and solar is an appalling delusion, but one which comes with a staggering price tag. Sure, the wind and sun are free, but attempting to rely upon chaotically generated wind and solar power is an altogether different prospect. Adding wind turbines and solar panels to … Continue reading Renewable Energy Delusion: Counting Staggering Cost of Wind & Solar Obsession
Power Cuts & Rocketing Prices All Part of Australia’s Wonderful Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
Australians are getting a bitter taste of their ‘inevitable’ renewable energy transition: power rationing and rocketing power prices. What’s depicted above is the weather-dependent power generation chaos at the heart of Australia’s renewable energy-driven power pricing and supply calamity. The dismal data – courtesy of Aneroid Energy – is the output delivered by Australian wind … Continue reading Power Cuts & Rocketing Prices All Part of Australia’s Wonderful Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
‘Greens’ Destroying Germany’s Ancient Forests To Make Way For Industrial Wind Turbines
To make way for over 30,000 of these things, the German wind industry has ruthlessly clear-felled ancient forests, once considered out of bounds. Provided the wilderness being turned into smouldering ash is used as a platform for hundreds of 260m high/300 tonne industrial juggernauts, it’s all for the greater good. Trashing thousand-year-old oak trees and … Continue reading ‘Greens’ Destroying Germany’s Ancient Forests To Make Way For Industrial Wind Turbines
Wind & Solar Subsidies Destroying Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies
Wind and solar subsidies were designed to undermine the owners of reliable power generation plants, making them uncompetitive in the first instance and ultimately putting them out of business. The problem with that model, though, is that once-reliable generators are knocked off the grid, power consumers are then forced to pay the full price of … Continue reading Wind & Solar Subsidies Destroying Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies
Subsidy Cuts Mean Wind Turbine Makers Face Miserable & Uncertain Future
The wind industry was built on lies and runs on subsidies; cut the subsidies and the whole thing collapses in a heartbeat. Wind turbine makers like Germany’s Siemens are having a rather miserable time of it, of late. Subsidies were already being wound back across Europe (and with it demand for these whirling wonders) when … Continue reading Subsidy Cuts Mean Wind Turbine Makers Face Miserable & Uncertain Future
Blackout Blame Shifting: Wind & Solar Collapses Responsible For Unplanned Power Outages
Wind and solar generators happily take credit when the sun’s up and the wind’s blowing, but dodge all criticism when blackouts follow sunset and/or calm weather. The standard trick is to point in every direction - except the obvious - when power rationing (euphemistically called “demand management”) or unplanned power rationing (aka widespread blackouts) follows … Continue reading Blackout Blame Shifting: Wind & Solar Collapses Responsible For Unplanned Power Outages
All Wind & Promises: New US Study Reveals Another Great ‘Green’ Jobs Hoax
The rocketing power prices caused by subsidised wind and solar have destroyed thousands of jobs in manufacturing and mineral processing, for starters. But, retorts the renewable energy rent seeker, think of all the green jobs ‘created’ by the wind and solar industries. Whether you call it a ‘Green New Deal’ or a ‘Great Green Reset’, … Continue reading All Wind & Promises: New US Study Reveals Another Great ‘Green’ Jobs Hoax
